The docu lineup expanded from six to 11 films this year in conjunction with Slamdance's new partnership with Al Gore's Current TV, allowing viewers to have their films screened at the fest. The slate includes Thomas O'Keefe's profile "B for Beekeeper" and Nathan Kensinger's "Covered Tracks," which examines Manhattan's underground homeless city.

The fest also announced films in two out-of-competition categories, nine Anarchy Online Finalists and seven $99 Specials. The former are chosen by online viewers, and the latter are from festival alumni who can create an experimental film with $99 in 99 days. One of them is "Feedback" from director Michael Lucid, winner of Slamdance's 2003 Rosebud Award.
